When you are in need of replacement windows in Mountain View, CA, you might not automatically think about interior design. However, the inside of your house will be impacted a great deal once those windows go in. So while, of course, you want your windows to be energy efficient and to give the exterior of your house a fresh look, you also want the interior design elements to come together. Here are a few things to consider as you look into replacement windows so you can ensure they will flow well with your home’s interior design.
The Window Style

Double hung windows, for example, are very popular, but they also limit the view a slight but since they have a bar across the middle where the sashes meet. You will want to think about the design of your home and choose a style that fits in well with what you have going on. Picture windows can fit in anywhere and look great, but you also want to keep ventilation in mind and so on. Weigh the pros and cons of every window style and choose what works best with your interior design.
The Window Color
It’s easy enough to choose a window color for the exterior of your home because the exterior is all the same color. But what about inside? Some of the rooms in your house might be neutral while others might be bright or dark colors. How do you find a window color that goes with all of them? The safest choice is white because it goes with everything, but it’s not the perfect option for every interior design. Do the best you can to find a good match and, if all else fails, paint a room or two to go with the new window color you choose.
The Window Hardware
The hardware on your windows won’t show much from outside, but they’ll show a great deal inside. Choose hardware that goes along with your home’s interior design. In the kitchen, for example, you might want something that matches the hardware on the cabinets and drawers. In the other rooms, something that goes along with the doorknobs often looks nice. Consider the elements that are already in play before you decide what might work.
